My main goal is not to get injured. Have been excercising 6 to 7 day a week (not all ski erg) for couple of months.Feel in great shape. I am prone to injury in these competitions as my brain makes promises my body can't keep.

Going to try and ski 6 to 7k a day in addition to my other workouts.

I will try to cover 200K for this challenge- obstacles include business travel, inertia,and the usual distractions and temptations of every day life.
Slow but steady wins the race.

Hi all.

I've signed up for the FTC. I'll be travelling around a bit but put me down for 150k. I WILL DO IT.

Here's a little jolly from comedian and actor Hugh Laurie (from the series "House") on winning a race (on the water)...

Hello All,

I've decided to set a goal of rowing some distance every single day of the FTC, I haven't set a distance goal yet. I will inform you if I do.

I looked at my log book and was surprised that I haven't been rowing in this challenge year at all. I guess I've been busier with coaching the kid's sports teams than I realized.

Izzzmeister · Post by **Izzzmeister** » September 7th, 2011, 4:55 pm

This is an aesthetics question: I try to approximate the colors used in the C2 Poster for each challenge to represent the posts that regard that challenge. In this way, TimbukTWO Team people can concentrate on posts that affect them, while TimbukTOO Affiliationers can concentrate on our daily progress posts.
Sorry for the brutal honesty here, but the lovely fall colors on the FTC poster remind me not only of falling leaves, but also of mud. If we get a couple of sensitive souls who would like me to choose other, more pleasing colors to represent the FTC2011, please let me know (and maybe even suggest alternative colors), and I will re-mix my pallette...

Hi all! I hope you don't mind, but I joined your team for the Fall Challenge and beyond! I just got my C2 about a month ago and I'm hooked I love it! I'm still building up my meters, but I will commit to doing at least 100,000 for the challenge.

Thanks!

I love the daily progress posts and hope to contribute 160k to the FTC. I'll take those in any color I can get.
